Air Canada passenger accused of attacking crew with coffee pots remains jailed

ORLANDO, Fla. — A 33-year-old Canadian man accused of threatening to take down a jetliner and attacking a flight crew with pots of coffee will remain jailed in the U.S. for a bit longer.

A federal judge is waiting for answers on immigration issues before deciding whether or not to grant bond to Brandon Courneyea.

The judge wants to ensure that if Courneyea is released and allowed to return to Canada that he will be allowed to reenter the country for hearings.

Court records said Courneyea tried to open a cabin door last week during an Air Canada flight from Jamaica to Toronto, Canada. The flight was diverted to Orlando International Airport.

Courneyea allegedly said that it would only take one person to take the plane down and that he wanted to take everyone with him.

Courneyea said in court last week that he used cocaine before the flight. He also said that two of his five children have complex medical issues.

During a court hearing Monday morning, Courneyea's father said he would willingly put his house up as collateral if his son is granted bond. He also offered to pay a high-cash bond and assure that his son will show up for court.

Brian Courneyea said his son is a good kid, but sometimes does "stupid things."

He said that the medical issues of his son's children have put him under a lot of stress, but he said he didn't think his son was a danger to the community.

"He's just got a very stressful life right now," the man's father told Channel 9. "That's it. That's all I'm going to say."

Court records show 14 letters of support from family and friends have been filed to let the judge know this was out of character for Courneyea.

Prosecutors have until the end of the week to provide the judge with information about the immigration issues.

Courneyea's attorney said a decision likely won't be made until the end of the week or early next week.

He said that if bond is granted, he thinks it will be high.
